Local authorities in Catalonia are implementing measures to address incivility and urban cleanliness issues.

In Tarragona, officials have increased sanctions for illegal waste dumping and infractions related to citizen coexistence, with fines reaching up to 2,001 euros. Authorities also continue to enforce bans on bathing in protected areas like Rec Comtal de Vallbonades to preserve biodiversity.

In Tàrrega, the municipality has deployed civic agents across six zones to manage minor public space incidents, such as removing small waste and manual weeding. This deployment is the first phase of a broader plan that intends to include security services to monitor conflict areas and identify offenders through trash inspections.
